Application
For trailers

Purpose
Release the brake system to move the semitrailer when not coupled.

Maintenance
Special maintenance that extends beyond the legally specified inspections is not
required.

Installation recommendation
– Mount the trailer release valves 963 006 001 0, 963 006 003 0, 963 006 005 0
and the double release valves 963 001 051 0 and 963 001 053 0 so that they
can be easily accessed in the frontal area of the trailer.

Flange the trailer release valve 963 001 012 0 and 963 001 013 0 directly onto the
trailer emergency brake valve.

– Install the trailer release valve vertically so that the actuation button faces
downward.
Permissible installation position: ±90°
– Fasten the trailer release valve with two M8 bolts.

 Trailer release valve 963 001 / 963 006

The trailer release valve 963 006 003 0 has a red actuation button, in connection
1-1 a venting valve and is suitable for Tristop® cylinders like the double release
valve 963 001 051 0.
The trailer release valve 963 006 005 0 is identical to the 963 006 003 0 but with a
green actuation button for lift axles.

While coupling the trailer onto the vehicle, make sure that the piston (a) is still in
parking position; if yes, push it to the driving position.
When the coupling head is connected, compressed air flows through port 1-1 into
chamber A. If the piston (c) is still in release position, it is pushed out into driving
position by the supply pressure. The air supply then passes through port 21 into
the relay emergency valve and then into the trailer's air reservoir. Compressed air
flows through port 1-2 into chamber B, opens the check valve (b), passes through
chamber C and port 22 into the downstream two-way quick release valve and
pressurises the Tristop® cylinder's spring compression chambers.
Pressure in Port 1-1 and, subsequently, chamber A is reduced in the unhitched po-
sition. To release the service braking system, use the actuating knob to push the
piston (c) until stop. This blocks the passage from port 1-1 to port 21,and a connec-
tion is created between chamber A and port 1-2. The air supply of the semitrailer
supply reservoir at port 1-2 flows through port 21 into the trailer emergency valve

and switches it to driving position, thereby reducing the pressure in the brake cylin-
der.
The piston (a) is pulled out when the parking brake is activated. The compressed
air in chamber C and at port 22 is released into the atmosphere via exhaust 3. The
downstream quick release valve reverses and pressure is reduced in the Tristop®
cylinder's spring compression chambers.

Functionality of 963 006

The air supply flows through port 11 into chamber B. If the piston (a) is still in re-
lease position, it is pushed out into driving position by the supply pressure. The air
supply then passes through port 2 into the trailer emergency valve and then into
the semitrailer's air reservoir.
Pressure in port 11 and, subsequently, chamber B is reduced in the unhitched po-
sition. To release the braking system, use the actuating knob (b) to push the piston
(a) in to the stop. This blocks the passage from port 11 to port 2 and a connection
is created between chamber A and port 2.
The air supply for the semitrailer at port 12 flows through port 2 into the trailer
emergency valve and switches it to driving position, thereby reducing the pressure
in the brake cylinder.

directly onto the trailer emergency brake valve) see 963 006.
